anyone? I plan to do this http://www.420magazine.com/forums/do-yourself/144421-diy-2-100w-cfl-reflector-hd.html with them. and hang them everywhere in my closet, which is lined in mylar.

Or should I aim for some 55w cfls?

Also can anyone recommend a good all in one nutrient to use? (preferably one with a schedule)

It depends on your space,a space maybe 1.5x1.5x4 would work ok with 4-5.When i used cfls my objective was to get as close 75w-100W per Square foot and 4 of those 23x4=92 close enough.If only 1 plant go for it if 2 or more you may need about 10.I just read a post with only 46w of cfls and they yeilded 43.4 grams so anything is possible depending on your space tho.

I'll be switching to an HPS for flowering by the way.

My closet space is (guesstimating) 5 foot across, 2.5 ft deep. 9 ft tall.

scrog and LST are training methods that create a canopy. my 14 23W bulbs do an area 2' x 3'

how many can one of them lights veg and grow up to flower stage ?? If I only need one of them for my closet for the whole veg stage I'll probably go that route
